FREKVENS

An experimental electronic-music festival in a decommissioned power plant — lineup, three stages, tickets.

Industrial rave · loud, kinetic, brutalist

The site of a 150-year-old independent Geneva watchmaker — the house, its flagship calibre, the craft, a private viewing.

Haute horology · hushed, precise, opulent

A 1960s retro-futurist space-tourism bureau booking family excursions to the Moon and beyond.

Atomic-age optimism · charming, illustrated

A 400-year-old Kyoto tea house and ceramics studio — its philosophy, the seasonal ceremonies, the master's bowls.

Wabi-sabi · calm, spare, near-silent

The site for a mushroom-foraging society — a field guide, seasonal forays, and the quiet cult of fungi.

Mycology · earthy, mysterious, botanical
